Ophois, Finder of Paths

Lore[]

No matter how terrible the enemy that stood in my path, I challenged them fearlessly for the sake of my followers. As a result, my faithful only continued to grow in number as more and more began to pray for my triumph. Before long, my continued success meant I was no longer known as a goddess of war, but of victory. I continued to carve passage for myself through the ranks of the supernatural, until the reputation of I, the "Finder of Paths," was etched in stone.

Name Origin[]

Ophois is a Greek name for god Wepwawet. In late Egyptian mythology, Wepwawet (also rendered Upuaut, Wep-wawet, Wepawet) was originally a war deity, whose cult centre was Asyut in Upper Egypt (Lycopolis, meaning "city of wolves", in the Greco-Roman period). His name means, opener of the ways and he is often depicted as a wolf standing at the prow of a solar-boat. Some interpret that Wepwawet was seen as a scout, going out to clear routes for the army to proceed forward.

Over time, the connection to war, and thus to death, led to Wepwawet also being seen as one who opened the ways to, and through underworld, Duat, for the spirits of the dead. Through this, and the similarity of the jackal to the wolf, Wepwawet became associated with Anubis, a deity that was worshiped in Asyut, eventually being considered his son. Anubis is the Greek name of a jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife, protector of the dead and also god of funerals and death. One of his prominent roles was as a god who ushered souls into the afterlife. He attended the weighing scale during the "Weighing of the Heart," in which it was determined whether a soul would be allowed to enter the realm of the dead.
